John Knox Presbyterian Church

About this church

John Knox Presbyterian Church in Marietta offers Sunday School at 10 a.m. in the Fritz Bogar Library, followed by an approximately one-hour worship service at 11. Worship is described as updated but traditional, pairing classic and contemporary hymns with grand-piano accompaniment. People dress casually, every person is greeted during the Passing of the Peace, and Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month. The church also invites everyone to a Wednesday 6:30 p.m. gathering for prayer, study of John’s Gospel, and conversation about meeting neighbors. Online worshipers can contact the church if they cannot locate the current livestream.

Children are welcomed in a safe, nurturing environment, while the congregation also operates a licensed Christian After School Academy and a play-based preschool. Helping Hands Food Pantry responds to food insecurity with groceries, financial aid, and resource connections. Other connections include small groups, scouting, music, mission, fellowship, and seasonal events. Fifty Presbyterians began meeting locally in fall 1957; John Knox formally organized with 199 charter members on May 25, 1958. Families should verify nursery availability and Sunday class ages; other open questions concern disability access, Communion welcome, and stream archiving.
